My little sect, which disappeared a thousand years ago, has become a sacred site!

When Gu Changyuan first set foot in the demon realm, it was the system that directly teleported him across realms.

Because the demon realm and the human realm are far apart, it wouldn't be easy for him to get there at that time, so the system directly helped him arrive in one step.

His first "target" after arriving in the demon realm, or rather, the candidate most suitable for him to be the founding disciple of the Heavenly Demon Pavilion, was Tu Shan Youyao, who was ostracized by her clan because of her different bloodline and was on the verge of death after accidentally falling into an extremely cold deep pool.

The system locked onto her, who was closest to him and whose talent and temperament met the requirements.

Back then, following the system's guidance, Gu Changyuan found that frigid deep pool and pulled Xiao Youyao, who was frozen blue all over and barely breathing, out of the water.

He used his pure spiritual power to dispel the cold, heal his wounds, and protect his heart.

When Xiao Youyao woke up, the first thing she saw was a strange human man.

Because of her past experiences, she was wary of any living creature that came near her.

So Xiao Youyao subconsciously bristled her purple fur, bared her little tiger teeth, and let out a low, warning growl in her throat, trying to scare away the stranger with this weak "fierce look."

It wasn't until Gu Changyuan gently explained that he had saved her and handed her warm medicine and clothes that she finally understood.

Xiao Youyao slowly realized that the other party meant no harm, and her tense body gradually relaxed, and her bristling hair softened.

She bowed her head and thanked him in a voice barely audible.

In Gu Changyuan's eyes at the time, the little fox's bristling appearance was not only not threatening, but also had a kind of cute contrast.

So, on a whim, he used the system's built-in recording function to casually "capture" this interesting scene, intending to show it to Tu Shan Youyao when she grew up.

Unexpectedly, I was sent to the Ruins of Chaos, and even more unexpectedly, the system kept it all this time.

......

Tu Shan Hanyan held the shimmering photograph, looking at the little purple fox with its bristling fur and bared teeth in it, laughing so hard that her snow-white fox ears twitched.

Until a delicate hand suddenly patted her shoulder.

"!!!"

Tu Shan Hanyan was as if she had been frozen in place, and she trembled violently, almost dropping the little white dog in her arms.

She stiffly, inch by inch, like a puppet, turned her head to the right with extreme slowness.

What caught my eye was Master Tu Shan Youyao's radiant smile.

Tu Shan Hanyan's body trembled violently again uncontrollably, and her back was instantly soaked with cold sweat.

She felt like every hair on her body was about to stand on end.

She subconsciously glanced at her grandmaster Gu Changyuan beside her with a pleading look, only to find that this grandmaster, who had just been sharing snacks and telling her funny stories, was now...

He was tilting his head slightly, his shoulders were twitching suspiciously, and a hint of a smile, which he was trying hard to suppress, still lingered at the corner of his mouth.

Master had already noticed that Master was coming, but he didn't warn me at all!

Tu Shan Hanyan felt a deep sorrow in her heart, feeling that she had been ruthlessly betrayed by her most trusted grandmaster.

Grandmaster...aren't you just setting your own child up for failure?!

She was heartbroken.

Tu Shan Youyao's gaze followed Tu Shan Hanyan's line of sight and naturally fell on the photo in Gu Changyuan's hand.

When she saw the photo of the drenched, bristling, and baring purple-haired fox girl in the photo, two very obvious blushes instantly appeared on her beautiful face, spreading all the way to her ears.

The sudden public humiliation of having her "dark history" from a thousand years ago brought out by her master caused her to feel intense shame.

She looked at Gu Changyuan, her expression instantly shifting to one of reproach and helplessness, her voice even carrying a hint of coquettish complaint:

"Master! Why do you still have this photo?! You kept it, but why did you show it to Xiaoyan?!"

Gu Changyuan finally stopped chuckling and tried to put on a serious expression, but the smile in his eyes was still impossible to hide.

"Oh, well..."

He cleared his throat.

"I was just thinking of keeping it as a memento. Besides, Xiaoyao, don't you think you were actually quite cute back then?"

Hearing her master say that she was "cute," Tu Shan Youyao couldn't help but feel a sweet and delighted feeling. However, being told this in front of her disciple made her feel even more embarrassed.

She bit her lower lip, unsure how to respond, and felt her cheeks burning even hotter.

Just as her mind was in turmoil—

"Pfft!"

Then came a very faint laugh from the side, clearly an attempt to suppress it.

Tu Shan Youyao turned her head instantly, her gaze shooting like lightning towards the culprit—her good disciple Tu Shan Hanyan.

The little girl was tightly covering her mouth, but her crescent-shaped eyes and trembling shoulders completely betrayed her.

Tu Shan Han Yan was startled by her master's "death stare" and quickly covered her mouth tightly.

She held her breath, her eyes filled with "I was wrong, I will never do it again."

Seeing that the time was right, Gu Changyuan, adhering to the principle of "better to die than to die myself," decisively chose to withdraw.

He deftly put away the photo of the "source of evil":

"Ahem, well... Xiao Yao, it seems you still have things to take care of, so I won't disturb you two's 'gathering of feelings' any longer. I'll be going now!"

As he spoke, he very naturally looked at the little white fox in Tu Shan Han Yan's arms:

"I'll take Xiaobai with me now, you two can continue your conversation."

Before he finished speaking, he had already reached out and scooped up the drowsy little white dog, holding it in his arms.

He leaped down from the window, his figure blurred, and he returned to the Heavenly Demon Tower.

Not only that.

Almost at the same moment he disappeared, a transparent barrier silently enveloped the entire window area.

The barrier's power was gentle yet incredibly resilient; with Tu Shan Han Yan's current cultivation level, it was simply impossible for her to forcefully break through it.

This barrier was clearly set up by Gu Changyuan before he left!

The objective was clear—to block Tu Shan Han Yan's only escape route.

After her initial shock, Tu Shan Han Yan immediately realized something was wrong!

The grandmaster has run away, the master is still furious, and I was just laughing...

If we don't run now, when will we?!

Her first thought was to follow her master's example and jump out of the window.

Although the building was high, as a demon with considerable cultivation, this height was nothing to her.

However, just as she rushed to the window, she crashed solidly into the suddenly appearing pale golden barrier with a "bang," and was gently but firmly bounced back.

"?!"

Tu Shan Hanyan covered her forehead, which was still a little dazed from the impact, and stared incredulously at the layer of light in front of her.

Tu Shan Youyao immediately realized Tu Shan Hanyan's intention to escape and the barrier that had suddenly appeared.

With a slight sense, she recognized her master's handwriting from the familiar barrier power.

Tu Shan Youyao's lips twitched involuntarily. A thousand years have passed, how come her master is still so childish and cunning?
